Sunset La Cienega Hotel & Residential High-Rise Towers in West Hollywood, California

July 17, 20140

The East and Middle Parcels of the Sunset La Cienega Development is now under construction at the southern corners of the Sunset and La Cienega intersection in Los Angeles. The development boast two 10-story hotel towers to the East of La Cienega and two 8-story residential towers to the west. The East Parcel is 235,000gsf with 296 rooms and the Middle Parcel is 292,240gsf with 190 total units, with both parcels featuring retail and restaurant space on the ground floor and below-grade parking.

Largo will pour over 60,000CY of concrete between both parcels which includes specialty architectural concrete and board form finishes. Each parcel requires two tower cranes, which are under Largo’s contract, along with reinforcing steel and masonry. The logistically challenging site is located on a steep incline at the foot of the Hollywood Hills surrounded by high-end residential to the south and the ever-busy Sunset Blvd. to the north. The CIM Group purchased the property in 2011 and Largo Concrete is working with General Contractor Suffolk Construction, Architect/Engineer Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP to be poured out in September 2015. Largo is also participating in the creation of a Level of Design (LOD) 300 Building Information Model, with weekly coordination meetings including all trades, to turn over to the client when construction is complete in Late 2016.
